An Evaluation of Institutional Introductory Pharmacy Practice Experiences

Domer, Erica R., Ramani, Kunal S., Smith, Alexandria M. January 2011 (has links)
Class of 2011 Abstract / OBJECTIVES: To assess the effectiveness of the institutional objectives for the Introductory to Pharmacy Practice Experience (IPPE) course at the University of Arizona, College of Pharmacy. METHODS: This observational study included 83 first-year PharmD students, of which 36 were enrolled in the IPPE course during the Spring 2009 semester. At the beginning and end of the semester, each student was given a multiple-choice test with questions related to the institutional objectives for the IPPE course. At the end of the semester, the tests were scored and the pre- and post-tests were matched for each student. RESULTS: No significant difference was found between the pre- and post-test scores, although most students had an improved score on the post-test. Of the students in IPPE, test scores were divided based on the type of practice site attended. No difference was found for the pre- or post-test scores between the different practice sites (p>0.1 for all comparisons) and a medium impact was found between community and hospital practice settings (affect size = 0.49). CONCLUSION: It was concluded that although student competencies improved over the course of the semester, participation in the IPPE course during the first-year of pharmacy school did not significantly contribute to this improvement.
